Exiled: The Ugandan Asian Story

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the arrival of nearly 30,000 Ugandan Asians on these shores - expelled from their homes, and livelihoods, by the dictator Idi Amin. This is their story.

This clip introduces the background to their story with short contributions from some of the interviewees including Gordon Vaja who owned a garage in Uganda and Maz Mashru who was a photo-journalist for the Ugandan Argus newspaper. Dr Jessica Frazier from the Oxford Centre for Hindu studies describes how the Ugandan Asians are now amongst the
most settled and invaluable communities in the country.
